Positioning the nucleus for cell migration and muscle fiber function (PhONICs)
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2019,
The cell nucleus is positioned at specific places within the cytoplasm and this position is important for different cellular, developmental and physiological processes. Nuclear positioning depends on connections between nuclear envelope proteins and the cytoskeleton. In migrating cells, we found that the nucleus is positioned away from the front of the cell and this event is important for cell mig ...

Advanced Postdoctoral Training Programme (MINDTHEGAP)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
Breakthroughs in Biomedical Sciences cannot be planned but for the most creative researchers to excel and for innovative fields to emerge, it is vital to create the most favorable scientific environment. One of the major challenges in the Biomedical Sciences is to have internationally competitive leaders in academia, industry or technology, who are outstanding in research but also extremely effici ...

Oxytocin and Dopamine Interplay in Humans – on the Biology of Social Cognition (BIOSOCIOCOG)
Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,
"This project asks ‘Do oxytocin and dopamine systems interact in the human brain?’. It will encompass an innovative, inter- disciplinary method combining established techniques in neuropharmacology, neuroimaging and genetics. It will use a mentalizing (social dilemma) task where it is hypothesized that the trust-eliciting reward value of mutual cooperation is coded by both dopaminergic and oxytoci ...

Parasite glycobiology and anti-parasitic strategies (GLYCOPAR)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"Protozoan parasites and helminths are the cause of some of the most devastating diseases worldwide and a major effort is needed to be able to control or eliminate these diseases. Glycoconjugates are abundant and ubiquitous on the surface of many parasites and they are frequently involved in their survival strategies by forming a protective barrier against host defences. A common feature of the pa ...

A novel solution to efficient Haematopoietic Stem Cell regeneration (STEMCELL2MAX)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 28, 2015,
There is an urgent need for improved expansion protocols for haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Many studies have tried to stimulate HSC expansion by experimenting with cytokine cocktails in cell culture media. Although these combinations of growth factors are able to increase the amount of HSCs, this happens at the cost of cell maturation: many of the cells in the final culture have lost their 'st ...
